Since the beginning of March I have been suffering from a problem with my leg, which apparently stems from my back. I'm waiting to see a neurologist for a suspected slipped disc.
And since I cannot do applique or piecing in my lap, I have taken to crochet again.

First I worked on 'Persian Tiles'. I took the kit with me to Scotland at the end of March, where I went despite the 'injury'.
I ended up spending several days resting my leg and doing crochet, with the most beautiful view. Not exactly a punishment. I was staying with my friends in the Isle of Skye again.

Which was an andventure in itself because I had to call in Special Assistance from KLM to get me home. That white thing that looks like the device they usually use to load the catering, is called an 'ambulift'.

I spotted Mandala Madness CAL, designed by Helen Shrimpton, and ordered some yarns, which of course came the next day. I wasn't going to start it until I had finished all the tiles and granny squares for Persian tiles, famous last words....

That folded border with triple crochets cost me about a week to get right, I kept ripping it out and starting again. For some reason it just didn't work.
Finally, helped by three boxes of stitch markers...
